As an addendum to the point about them being sued, google did something absolutely hilarious in response. They made the "preview image" the ACTUAL IMAGE when you select something, instead of the cache, they only load the cache if the image itself fails to load. The effect of this is it's in fact muuuuch easier to get at the original image in image search. Just right click the image and hit "view image" or "view image in new tab" and, that's the original.
